answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2022 answer text <p>The Government understands that people across the UK and especially the most vulnerable members of society, such as those suffering from complex regional pain syndrome, are worried about the rising cost of living. That is why the Government is taking decisive action to get households through this winter and the next, while ensuring we act in a fiscally responsible way.</p><p> </p><p>Depending on their specific circumstances, it is possible that people with complex regional pain syndrome will qualify for disability benefits. People in receipt of extra-costs disability benefits such as Personal Independence Payment (PIP) or Disability Living Allowance (DLA) will receive a one-off Disability Cost of Living Payment of £150 from 20th September, to help with the extra costs disabled people are facing. The DWP has already processed around 6 million such payments.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is also providing a £650 Cost of Living Payment to recipients of means-tested benefits, to support people with low incomes with the rising cost of living. Individuals in receipt of means-tested disability benefits, such as income-related Employment and Support Allowance, or the Universal Credit Health top up are eligible for this support.</p><p> </p><p>Those suffering from complex regional pain syndrome can also benefit from other forms of non-means tested support which the Government is providing to assist with UK households’ energy bills.</p><p>The Energy Price Guarantee is a scheme that will cap the unit price households pay for electricity and gas, which means that a typical household in Great Britain will have to pay bills equivalent to no more than £2500 a year on their energy bills this winter.</p><p>- This will support people with a disability who may need to use more energy due to their condition or treatment.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Secondly, the Energy Bills Support Scheme, which will provide £400 to help with domestic energy bills. All households in Council Tax bands A-D will also receive the Government-funded £150 Council Tax Rebate, which will be delivered by Local Authorities.</p><p> </p><p>Lastly, to support households who need further help or who are not eligible for elements of the wider package of support, the Government is also providing an extra £500 million of local support to help with the cost of essentials, via the Household Support Fund.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 19/10/2022 16:59:22 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
